I love Punisher Max, and the first volume of Cassanova wasn't too bad, but I'm not sure if I should read War Journal or not.

I was going to buy it when it started but the first issues were Civil War and I was, and still am, ignoring that. Then by the time I remembered about it, the Punisher was running around dressed like Capitan America which was just really stupid IMO. So I never bothered to start reading it and now am wondering if I should read some of the trades.
